2011 New Historic Classes

For those that care about such things there is movement 9finally) to get the present NE1 PCRA class ratified as a bona fide Historic class next year, its gunna look somewhat like this:


2 weeks ago the MA Historic commission got together and set up a draft rules set for P6 which is based on the GCR’s of 1989. It is still planned to have NE up and running in 2011.



The next step is that MA will distribute the draft rules to the states for comment. As one of three on the MNSW Historic Road Race Sports Committee I assume that I will be asked to comment. Therefore I would like to ask all members of the PCRA, but especially members who have or are currently running NE bikes for input.



At the Wednesday PCRA club meeting the main draft rules were announced as:



Classes up to:

125cc GP
250cc Proddy
250cc GP
750cc Superbike (meaning 750cc for 4 cyl 4 stroke and 1000cc for 2 cyl 4 stroke)
1100cc


Upside down forks out
End 90 cut off
No v-twin 250 Yamaha’s


At the MNSW Annual Meeting the following day the rules differed as such:

750cc (Larger twins run in 1100cc)
Original upside down fork allowed if originally fitted to the bike.


And the best part is we can now get down to the business of preparing bikes for the new Historic class.

NEPEAN DIRT TRACK PRACTICE DAY - NO GO!

My planned dirt track practice day didn't happen, awoke saturday morn to find the smallest deckhand on the barge was ill, so the bike stayed on the trailer and I stayed home.

At least it gave me chance to think about what bikes to run with this year and having recently purchased an XL250 K0 with the intention of racing in 'pre75 something should go.






My good mate Pete 'Two Snakes' up in QLD was kind enough to pick up the bike from some strange Brissie suburb and is, as we speak, giving the bike a 'once over' for me.




If all goes to plan, the bike will be in Sydney June 26th as Two Snakes will be racing with us at Eastern Creek at the PCRA meeting on the 27th.

NEPEAN DIRT TRACK PRACTICE DAY

Hi all, yep that's my 1982 XR200RC that I'm taking to Nepean Dirt Track at Agnes Banks - north west Sydney, tommorrow (saturday) for one of Penrith/St George Practice Days (and Lord don't I need it!). I did one a little earlier in the year and realised that all my years of street riding had 'stiffened' me up, I found it really really hard to let the bike move around as it should in the dirt.

Will take my camera and try and get you a few shots of the bikes and people out there, especially the nonmodern stuff.

PCRA BSFoS

Eastern Creek raceway, on a CX500, that's not on steriods, hmm that's gotta be a little interesting. Well it was. The bike has been to, gosh, many BSFoS and Bob Blythe Mem. meetings at Eastern Creek, with only three riders, and every time its been there its provided its rider with a trophy. 2010 was no exception. As they say at the ABC I 'picked up' actually, no, I was 'handed' a third place trophy for my efforts on the Easter weekend.

Short story long it took me three days to get the 'Mighty One' round the track at under 2min. best lap was 1.58 however, I need 1.51 to put that Ducati '500' in its place.

KR125 - It's not a static display!

Hello all,
before i launch into our adventures at the recent BSFoS I'll post up a pic of my1978 KH125 based Forgotten Era (P5) race bike. It cut some great laps on Friday practice but was sidelined by an electrical gremlin.

Thanks for the pic Rick. For more of Ricks pics clidk: http://s160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Thumper500/BARRY%20SHEENE%20FS%202010/?evt=user_upload_approve&sort=ascending
